Or at RM5XX you can also consider putting the Farida D8 on your list as well.

i doubt you can get solid top at rm500 price range.
quality control is more important than type of wood
a good brand plywood guitar plays better than unknown brand solid wood guitars
yamaha f310 and Cort AD810 are good choices.
you have epiphone and fender to choose also
more important is the comfort in holding chords so a helpful seller can try to adjust the guitar for you.
once you are better, there are millions of choices out there for your next guitar.
a good player can make most guitars sound good
a bad player will never make even the best guitar sound good
work on your technique first, dont need to get an expensive guitar at this stage

Search Youtube for Peter Gergely - All of Me.
He was using an unknown brand laminate guitar.
He has almost 4 million views.
This made him well known and soon sponsors came with better guitars for him to play.
What i am saying is, some people can generate almost 4 million views by just using an inexpensive guitar. I dont think I can ever say laminate guitars are not good enough for me. Unless I can play better than that guy.

one of the easiest ways to tell if a top is laminate is by looking at the inner sides of the sound hole, if it is painted on, has many layers its most likely laminate
if its just bare wood its most likely solid
Thanks guys, appreciate.....
